Chapter Twenty : The Message

Asher’s POV

The seconds ticked away like hours, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. The mating ceremony was about to start, and I had just looked around for Zarina… but she wasn’t here.

I told myself it was nothing. She was probably getting ready, making sure everything was perfect for the ceremony. But why did I feel this unease gnawing at me?

I could feel Cara beside me. She was too close, her hand lingering on my arm, her laugh too loud in my ear. I tried to push her away, but no matter how hard I tried, she wouldn’t get the hint. I kept glancing around, my eyes scanning the hall, looking for Zarina. My heart beat faster with every passing second.

“Is something wrong, Asher?” Cara asked, her voice soft but needy.

“I—” I started, but before I could say anything, someone called my name.

“Asher! It’s time to announce your mate!” the voice of the elder echoed from across the room.

I froze. My stomach twisted with dread. Zarina was sup

My hands were tied securely with a thick rope.I could barely move.My face was wet with tears, and my whole body shook.I was scared.So, so scared.This was not what today was supposed to be.Today was supposed to be the best day of my life.The day I would stand with Asher…The day that he would present me as his mate to everyone.But instead…I was here. Alone. Tied up. Sobbing.Because Kael… Kael discovered me.Kael, my ex.Kael, the man I once thought I was going to live with.The same Kael who damaged me. Who told me I was never going to be enough.He came out of nowhere.I did not even notice him coming.One minute, I was strolling along the path at the rear of the pack house, trying to calm my nerves for the ceremony…The next, I was grabbed from behind, a rag pressed over my nose, and then darkness.When I awoke…I was here.In the woods, miles away.With him.I

  • Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate   Words

    Chapter Twenty-One: His Words(Zarina's POV)I looked at him.Asher looked into my eyes one more time. His face was a map of pain, anger, and love. He was doing this for me. For our babies.Then, right in front of my eyes, he turned into his wolf.His body changed rapidly. I could hear bones cracking. His clothes tore apart. His skin turned into thick black fur. His eyes blazed with fire. His teeth were sharp, his claws outstretched. Within seconds, the man I loved was no longer human.He was a giant black wolf.Strong. Fierce. Furious.He let out a loud growl. So loud the ground shook beneath me. Then he leapt forward.Straight into the wolves.I screamed.There were too many.Hundreds.Maybe even thousands.But he did not care.He sprang and bit the first wolf. Tore it apart. He whirled and swiped at two more with his claws. They fell.But others came.He fought like a beast. Like a true Alpha.He ripped throats, broke bones, slammed bodies into trees. His black fur was sticky with

They're still in me. They're alive.I whispered with my eyes shut, "I will keep you safe. I promise. I will fight for you."I pulled with every ounce of strength I had on the ropes. They burned my skin, but I didn't mind. I continued to pull. I growled. My wolf inside me was trying to escape.And then suddenly.Snap.The rope snapped.I landed on the ground. I took a deep breath in. I wiped away my tears. I was no longer the weak girl I used to be. I am a warrior. I am Asher's mate. I am a mother.And I will fight.I glanced up and I could see the wolves around me. So many of them. They were laughing. They believed I was weak.They had no idea who I was.I unleashed my wolf. My body blazed. It burned, but I did not relent. My bones cracked. My fur grew. I was my wolf—silver, powerful, enra

    .Chapter Twenty Four : Where Is He?Zarina's POVI was sleeping in a soft bed.But I didn't feel safe.I didn't feel warm.I felt empty. Chilly. Afraid.I slowly opened my eyes. The room was quiet, but my heart was pounding. It thumped so hard, like it was going to burst. I looked around in a hurry, tears filling my eyes."Asher?" I whispered.But no one answered.My chest tightened.I sat up, despite my body hurting. My hands shook. My mouth dry. I caressed my stomach gently.The babies.They were still there… they were still safe.But where was their father?Where was Asher?Suddenly, everything came rushing back. The fight. The pain. The fear.Him falling.Him not moving.Him saying, “Take care of yourself. Take care of the babies… I’ll come back.”But he didn’t come back.He was not here.I screamed.The scream came from the deepest part of my heart. From the part that was breaking into pieces."Asher!" I cried out loud, my voice cracking. "Where are you? Come back to me, return!

My heart was black, like the clouds that come before the big storm.It had been two moons since Asher disappeared.Two moons since my soul mate died saving mine.Two moons since I've heard his voice.Since I've felt his hand on mine.Everyone else was already forgetting.They smiled again. They trained. They lived.But me?I still kept replaying Asher's last words over and over in my head."Take care of yourself… Take care of the baby… I'll come back."I placed a hand on my stomach. I could feel them. The tiny lives growing inside me. His offspring. Our offspring.My eyes welled again. I wiped the tears away, but they wouldn't cease.The Elders called a meeting.The pack gathered in the circle of rocks. Where all the important things occurred.They announced the pack needed an Alpha.We can't wait forever,"

    Chapter – The New Alpha want me Zarina’s POVI sat there, in the quiet room, feeling lost. The silence was heavy, like a weight on my chest. I was so tired, so afraid. I couldn’t stop thinking about Asher—about him being gone. Where was he? Would he come back? I wanted to believe he would, but everything around me told me otherwise.A soft knock at the door broke through my thoughts. I wiped my face, trying to hide the tears I couldn’t control. Damon stepped in. His eyes were kind, but there was a sadness in them that matched my own. He looked tired, too. I could see it in the way he moved, in the way he stood.“I brought you something to eat,” he said gently. His voice was like a calm in the storm, but I couldn’t bring myself to eat. My stomach turned at the thought of food.“I’m not hungry,” I whispered, my voice breaking.Damon sat beside me on the bed, his presence warm and comforting. He didn’t say anything for a long moment. I could feel him waiting, giving me space, but I coul

    Chapter Twenty Seven : “Don’t Touch Me”Zarina’s POVI was alone.The room was quiet.I sat on the cold floor. I had been picking up the clothes I washed earlier. My hands were slow. My body was tired. The babies inside me were kicking softly. I held my stomach and closed my eyes.“Asher…” I whispered his name again.It hurt so much to say it.But not saying it hurt even more.I missed him every day. Every night.I prayed for him to come back.I prayed for him to walk into the room and hold me again.But all I had was silence.I stood slowly, trying not to cry. I was trying to be strong. For the babies. For him.Then—the door opened.My heart stopped.I turned around.It was Elior.My body froze.My breath got stuck in my throat.He closed the door behind him.

My heart was beating too fast. I looked down at my belly and whispered, "I'm sorry, little ones… I'm trying."Damon looked at me. His face was troubled, but it was loving. Not the way a man loves a woman—but the way a brother loves a sister. The protective kind."We don't have much time," he said in a barely audible voice. "You don't belong here, Zarina. You and your babies have to get out of here."I swallowed hard. "But if they find us?"He grasped my hand. "Then we run again. And again. I won't ever let him touch you. Never again."I wept. "I'm so tired, Damon… I just need to be able to live in peace. I just need to be able to live without fear. I miss Asher. Every moment."He said nothing.

  • Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate   The apology

    Chapter 89 : The ApologyZarina's POVI did not anticipate having her at my door.It was a peaceful morning. Asher had departed early to meet the patrol leaders, and the house was quiet. The children were outdoors playing with the nanny, and I was ironing clothes in the cozy living room. I was drained, both physically and emotionally. Everything was too much to endure.Then there was a knock.Not the typical kind. Not loud, not persistent. Just… soft. Gentle. Almost like the person on the other side of the door didn't want to scare me.I opened it carefully.And there she was.Cara.Her face was altered—exhausted, melancholy, not angry as typical. Her dark hair was loose, and she had on a simple gray cloak. No trinkets. No cosmetics. She looked… human. Sort of harmless.My heart skipped in my chest, and I gripped the doorjamb tightly."What do you want?" I whispered."I just. I want to talk," she replied. She was talking low and trembling.

    Chapter Title: The Weight of LeadershipThe moon was low in the sky, casting a pale light over the packhouse. Inside, the air buzzed with tension. I sat by myself in my study, the weight of what had occurred during the day oppressing me.The elders were gone, their words lingering within me. The Red Moon Pack was cutting all ties with us. No further supplies. No trade. It was all due to the choice I had made to be with Zarina. I drew a hand over my hair, irritation welling up within. Had I erred? Would I have done better with Cara? Would keeping the peace been better that way? The very thought plagued me.And yet I thought about Zarina's tear-streaked face, her silence, her unwaivering belief in me. She was my companion. She had given birth to our pups. She was the future of the pack.The elders, though, did not view it so. They saw her as danger, as a vulnerability. They saw her as the reason that the pack failed.I leapt up, pacing the room. The pressure in my chest was too much to

  • Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate   The Point

    Chapter 87: The Breaking PointZarina’s PovI sat in the quiet room of the pack house, my mind swirling with thoughts I couldn’t escape. The weight of everything happening around me—everything that had changed in our lives—was becoming unbearable. The constant tension, the constant pressure. I could feel myself unraveling.Asher and I had gotten this far, but with everything that had happened with Cara, the elders, and the pack… I didn't know how I could continue to live like this. I had tried to be strong for him, for the children, but my heart ached. The stress was more than I could manage.I knew Asher would do all he could to protect me and the children, but would it be enough in the end? I was torn between clinging to the life that I had with him and the fear that the chaos would never leave.And then the solution hit me, so forcefully it shook me to my foundations. If sex with Cara would harmonize the pack, then maybe Asher should just go and do it.I felt sick to my stomach jus

  • Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate   The pack future

    Chapter 86: The pack future Asher's POVI was in my office, my hands clenched tightly around a tumbler of whiskey, my head spinning with all that was happening of late. It had been a long day, one full of tension, puzzlement, and the overpowering desire to protect what was mine. Zarina seethed, perplexed by everything, and I had not the least idea of what to tell her that would make it better. Every day was a battle, but the war had not yet begun properly.Then my phone rang, shattering my daydreaming. The screen lit up with my mother's name, and for an instant, my heart skipped a beat. I had not spoken to her for some time. I had no idea what this call would be about, but I didn't have to guess very hard to figure that it wouldn't be something straightforward.I sighed and answered the call, trying to conceal my emotions."Yes, Mother?" My voice was level, but the constriction in my chest betrayed me."Asher, I need to talk to you," my mother stated sternly, but I sensed a quiver of

  • Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate   Asher’s Choice

    Chapter 85: Asher's ChoiceI walked in the night, my brain foggy, and my heart heavy. The weight of the day, the pack's need, and the pain of it all happening around me had started to strangle me. I considered everything Cara and I had been through at that moment. Her family pressure, the needs of the pack, and my choices.But the more I dwelled on it, the more I couldn't get the image of Zarina and the babies out of my head. The way they regarded me, the way Zarina smiled, the way the children depended on me for everything. The idea of giving that up, of taking Cara, it didn't sit right. Each time I tried to envision it, the only thing that popped into my mind was Zarina's face, her warmth, and how everything felt complete when we were together.I stopped on the trail, where moonlight filtered through leaves at the edge of the woods. It was quiet. Too quiet.Cara.Her face seemed to flash through my mind, the soft, honeyed tone she always had, her elegant hands, yet even with all of

  • Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate   The Battles

    Chapter 84 : The BattlesAsher's POVThe day had been long. Tension was thick in the packhouse, and my mind continued to spin with it all—Zarina's battle, Cara's machinations, the threats on the horizon. I had promised Zarina that I would always be there to protect her, and yet it felt like I was failing her. There was so much beyond my control, so much that I did not understand, and all I wanted to do was keep her and our children safe.I rested against the side of the bed, the weight of the day weighing on my shoulders. My eyes wandered to Zarina, who was lying there with our triplets. They were wrapped in warm blankets, their tiny bodies curled up against her. The peaceful sight of them all curled up together was the only solace in the midst of chaos.Zarina was exhausted too. She had been through so much recently, attempting to assist me, attempting to keep our family intact while the world around us seemed to crumble. I could see the characteristic signs of her fatigue—the faint

    Chapter 83: The FearAsher's POVThe moon sat high above the woods, casting a white, ethereal light on the ground ahead of me. My heart was racing, but it wasn't because of the hunt or the dangers of the night; it was because of her.Zarina.I couldn't help but fret. She'd slipped out without warning me where she was heading, without so much as a whisper. As soon as I realized she wasn't there anymore, my heart hit the ground. I rationalized that she must be all right, perhaps needed some solitude, but the apprehension gripped me like an open sore.I needed to locate her.I screamed out her name, my voice echoing into the dense, black woods. But the silence that met my scream only made me more nervous. I struggled through the dense trees, my head racing. What if she was hurt? What if she was in danger? The thought of her being hurt, alone out there, made my chest tighten.Then, there—beneath a giant oak tree, I saw her.Zarina was curled on the ground, shaking, her face smeared with t

    Chapter 82: The Choice Zarina's POVI woke before dawn that day and slipped quietly out of bed, trying not to rouse Asher. His steady breathing beside me was comforting, but I knew I couldn't stay. I had to do this on my own. I had to go get the supplies—medicine and rice burn—anything I could do to help. The pack needed it, and I knew I couldn't rely on anyone but myself.As quietly as I could, I grabbed a small bag, filled it with what I would need along the way, and crept towards the door. The house was still, no one stirred. But as I stepped out into the cold morning air, a knot formed in my chest. Ahead of me lay the forest, dark and silent, and a sense of dread crawled up my back. But I had no choice. The pack needed me.I tried to walk softly as I made my way deeper into the woods, away from the packhouse. The trees seemed to close in around me as the woods swallowed me whole. The scent of wet earth and pine was thick in the air, and the silence was oppressive. Still, I presse

    Chapter: Asher and Zarina’s Unspoken FearsI woke to the soft sound of breathing beside me. It was early, and the world outside was shrouded in a quiet morning mist. I rolled over to see Zarina sleeping, her face serene and peaceful. The night had been thick with a weight that I could not shake off, and now the morning felt almost too quiet by comparison.My mind was racing with thoughts of the Red Moon Pack, the threat looming over us, and the stakes. I couldn't allow them to destroy us. I couldn't have my pack injured, but above all, I couldn't lose Zarina.Our bond grew stronger with each passing day, much to her reservations. The healer's words echoed in my mind — the children might not be mine, but I didn't care. I loved them and I loved her, more than she knew herself. But I didn't know how to console her.I smoothed her hair back from her face, my hands on her soft skin. She moved, her eyelids opening, and I could see the fear in them before she had even said anything."You're
